Republic of the Marshall Islands Partnership for College and Career Readiness and Success
Many students in the RMI graduate from high school unprepared for college-level work or success in the workforce. Our partners in the RMI are committed to using research results, data, and best practices to guide policy and practice to increase college and career readiness and success.
Goals
- Increase awareness of evidence-based strategies to help more students transition successfully from high school to college and careers.
- Increase collaboration among K–12, college, and workforce stakeholders.
Training, Coaching & Technical Support (TCTS) in Progress
This REL Pacific coaching project is intended to help the College of the Marshall Islands (CMI) develop the capacity to evaluate initiatives to determine whether they are effectively improving student outcomes. CMI also hopes to develop the research capacity to identify other ways that they might improve early college outcomes and increase graduation rates.
REL Pacific is working collaboratively with stakeholders in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) to promote awareness of evidence-based strategies to help more students transition successfully from high school to college and careers and facilitate collaboration among K–12, college, and workforce stakeholders through the use of research results, data, and best practices. One of the partnership's primary goals is to increase the number of students who graduate in the RMI with a college degree and are prepared to become leaders in their local communities.
This partnership does not yet have any publications. See our Publications page to search all REL publications.
